Below are key drivers of HP's value that present opportunities for upside or downside to the current Trefis price estimate for HP:

HP Printer and Ink Catridge

HP's Market Share : HP has been able to increase its market share in printers through new product launch and focus on Multifunction printer. Moreover, it continues to offer its products at competitive price points. As a result, its market share is improving.

There could be 5% upside to Trefis price estimate if its market share were to increase to 45%. However, it could be 5% lower if the market share were to fall to 37%.

Printer Ink and Toner supplies price : Supplies prices have been trending downwards as non-OEM manufacturers are remanufacturing or refilling cartridges to cut cost.Trefis currently forecast the average supplies cost to decline to $45.9. However, if prices were to rise to 2013 levels there could be 5% upside to Trefis's price estimate.

HP Services

Technology Services: We currently forecast the revenues from HP's technology services business to remain tepid in the near term and then pick up in the later years to reach $10 billion by the end of the Trefis forecast period.

${header:summary}

HP is known by consumers primarily for its PCs and printing products. However, its fastest growing division is its services businesses that is focused on business customers and alone constitutes about 23% of the firm value. HP Services provides outsourcing and consulting services primarily to Fortune 500 clients. Through outsourcing services, clients can reduce their IT cost structure by contracting out the maintenance of IT hardware and software. Similarly, HP assists customers in reducing costs in other business support areas such as human resources, accounting and procurement.

Huge Printing Business

HP is the global leader in the printer market with over 40% share in printer units sold globally as of 2014. We expect the firm to maintain its leadership position in the printer market in the future and estimate that the firm derives as much as ~27% of its value from the printing business

Services Unit -A Large Driver of Value

HP services is a complete outsourcing unit with outsourcing services ranging from information technology outsourcing to application outsourcing and business process outsourcing. Since the acquistion of EDS in 2008, the outsourcing has gained traction in an increasingly competitive and open business environment.

HP is the global leader in the Server market

HP is one of the largest players in the server industry with over 24% market share in 2014. The company derives nearly ~14% of its value from the server business. With HP now committed to launching new servers, especially in the high computing through moonshotservers, we expect the company will hold on to its leading market share going forward by investing into R&D and coming up with innovative products.

HP is the global leader in the PC market

HP is the second largest PC vendor in the world with over 19% market share in 2014. The company derives nearly 13% of its value from the PC business (the Personal Systems Group or PSG). With HP now committed to revive its PC business, we expect the company will hold on to its leading market share going forward by investing into R&D and coming up with innovative products.

Competitors such as Lenovo have surpassed HP in many segments, but it is still one of the top players in the global PC market.

${header:trends}

Rising Popularity of tablets and HP's renewed focus on PCs

With the launch of Apple's iPad in 2010, the demand for tablet PCs has increased at a rapid rate. We believe that this trend will continue as both phone and PC manufacturers like RIM, Motorola Mobility, Samsung, HP and Dell enter into the tablet market in a big way.

HP re-entered the market in 2013 with tablet devices based on Windows and Android platform. These tablets are targeting both consumers as well as enterprises. If HP manages to capture mind and market share this time with its Windows and android based tablets, there could be a tremendous upside potential to the firm.

Consulting has High Exposure to Discretionary IT Spend

Consulting is the most discretionary part of a company's IT spending budget, and hence the most likely to suffer among all services divisions in a slowdown. HP Consulting and SI business provides solutions in the areas of IT architecture and infrastructure, custom applications and packaged applications, security, IT services management and information management.

Outsourcing is a Defensive Business

In a recessionary environment cost triumphs over value as firms look to do the bare minimum to sustain their business. Outsourcing helps companies keep costs low. HP's outsourcing business did well during the the economic recession of 2008-09 and will continue to do so as its clients now face increasing competition and pressure in an uncertain economic environment.
